It's a bit fekkin late to sign him in January. Why didn't we get our act together sooner?
Apparently we first tried in January this year, so we knew we wanted him back then. So when we got to the summer window we surely must have known that a centre forward was a top priority and we knew we wanted this guy, so how can we have allowed it to happen that Corinthians "didn’t have enough time to bring in a replacement."? That sounds very much like we didn't make an offer until late in the window.
I've said before that our priorities this window were stupid and this is more evidence that was the case. We spent an enormous sum and signed loads of players but ended up without a centre forward. How stupid is that? Clearly in this case it was nothing to do with the money if Corinthians thought the offer was good. [Post edited 26 Sep 2024 10:42]

At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious......
This is all going to be determined by our League position in January.
If we are looking like we are going to need snookers to stay up, it is going to be nigh on impossible to sign anybody half-decent. They simply won't want to sign for us, fearing relegation clauses etc.
Which is when you end up with gash like Sulemana and Onuachu as in Jan 2023.
January is such a tough window.
And of course we will have to factor in the PSR / FFP rules. Our spending will be heavily constrained by that, unless we can get unwanted players out of the door. |  |

Get Ings in in Jan - if he will come? Had he played against Ipswich we would have won |  |
